All the drama surrounding Pusha T’s album — including it getting a new title and artwork just days before its release — has come to an end. The G.O.O.D. Music president’s much anticipated DAYTONA LP is now available for the world to hear.
Pusha’s latest album is noteworthy for its brevity as it’s comprised just seven songs. The project is produced entirely by Kanye West, who also makes a guest appearance alongside Rick Ross.

On the heels Pusha T calling his long-awaited album “flawless,” Def Jam ficially announced it will drop on Friday (May 25). The LP was originally titled King Push but has now been renamed as DAYTONA.
In a series tweets, Pusha explained why he changed the title the album and the meaning the Daytona name.
“I changed the album title from ‘King Push’ to ‘DAYTONA’ because I felt it didn’t represent the overall message this body work,” he wrote. “‘DAYTONA’ represents the fact that I have the luxury time. That luxury only comes when u have a skill set that your confident in.”
Def Jam’s album press release also cleared up months speculation about the project, revealing Kanye West contributed to a song titled “What Would Meek Do?” in addition to producing the LP. Rick Ross is the only other guest, appearing on “Hard Piano.”
